Tadic getting that great score has really screwed up my transfer plans!
Who do I drop to sort out my defence? It was going to be tadic!!
Morning Mitro, Sterling for me Sir
He was my walcott transfer!!!
Well you didn’t say that !!!
Ok – That makes things tougher then. Do you really want Wally and Welly?
Sorry cookie!!!
I would like to have them both if possible!!
What about Costa to pelle??
Mitro, Costa to Pelle seems a decent move short term. The problem is when Costa is back, which could well by this weekend, there will be a load of sellers thinking, “what have I done”.
Last week Costa was viewed by many, including myself, as a must have. He misses one game and a whole load of managers are selling him. Whether this is right or wrong I’m not sure (or convinced) but time will tell.
Therefore I think you need to work out who you really want, cos you can’t have them all! Costa, Walcott, Baines, Coleman, Di Maria?
Keep your sub (unless you have 2 already). Your team is fine atm, another week and hings will be clearer with Costa.
Would you drop one of Welbeck/Pelle/Costa for Aguero?
Unless Costa is out for a few weeks, not seeing who I would take out. thoughts?
Hey Dreamers you would probably have to downgrade Kompany & Sterling & change Welbeck but is it worth it ?
Hi Silver
I guess yesterday – I was thinking I was getting murdered by not having Aguero, but then didnt do bad as the extra money from Welbeck being cheap did the business. So I have woken up thinking that unless Costa is out for weeks, then I wont be getting Aguero in
Yes Dreamers I’m thinking same but most won’t have put him as Cap so will keep an eye on him
Will wait to see things pan out but how does this look:
Take a four point hit to bring in Barkley and Dummett for Zaha and Taylor. That would allow me to play a front seven of Barkley-Siggy-Sterling-Silva-ADM-Welbeck-Pelle with Costa benched (provided he is still injured!).
Then take out Silva for Boyd to bring in Aguero for one of the top three?
Sanchez interest anyone ?
Hi Guys
I’m thinking of throwing in the wildcard this week to get Baines and Tadic in.
How does this look?
Current team
DeGea/Myhill
Clyne / Dummett/ Wisdom/Bruce/Taylor
Fab/Siggy/Sterling/DiMaria/Wanyama
Pelle/Aguero/Costa
0.4m in the bank
To
Schmeical/Myhill
Baines/Alderweireld/Hutton/Wisdom/Dummett
Fab/Di Maria/Siggy/Tadic/Boyd
Pelle/Costa/Aguero
0.2m in the bank
Tomo,
Immediate reaction is lose Schmeichel – I have him as my only keeper and wish to God I
hadn’t. Trust me on this one!
The rest looks great. One observation – no Arsenal. Saints won’t score 8
every week, but their fixtures are good, but the only way I see you getting a Goonie is Welbeck for Pelle, which spreads your coverage very nicely.
Cheers Cookie
I’m not sold on Arsenal at the minute and I think Pelle is a must at present, but I take your point on Schmeical. Not many options out there for a Goalie at around 4.6 or under. I as thinking Krul or Guzan as options. Alternatively change Tadic to Mane. Any thoughts?
Tomo, I don’t necessarily disagree with you re Arsenal in all honesty mate. But they will take off at some point – to a degree.
Guzan would be my choice mate and it’s a move I’m planning. Or
need to start planning!!
Cheers Cookie
Guzan will be probably be my choice. I hope DiMaria pays off as Capo this week. Mental note for self – stop doing Saturday morning captain changes!
Ouch Tomo, did you take it off Kun late on? I’m on ADM too – could be a fun Monday evening on here!!
Cookie
Afraid so, hopefully DiMaria will at least do something for us.
Tomo – a goal and assist and I’ll be happy
Get McCarthy for Myhill. He will be the only 4.0 playing GK.
Hey guys! RMT please –
I was hoping on upgrading one of my forwards to Kun but I’m not sure which one. Costa, if injured will be transferred for him, but if fit, is untouchable. Pelle is in great form and has great fixtures for the next 4 GW’s while Ulloa is so cheap and I’ll have to find 5.9mil from somewhere to be able to afford him.
If I was to upgrade Pelle -> Aguero, I would look at either downgrading Sterling -> Diame and De Gea -> to any keeper for 5mil or less for a -8 point hit, or Sterling -> Boyd for a -4 point hit. This obviously pends on Sterling’s form tonight.
If I was to upgrade Ulloa -> Aguero, I would need to downgrade Sterling -> Boyd/Obertan AND then downgrade Cahill to any defender for 4.9mil or less, while getting a -8 point hit. I don’t think this will be worth it tbh!
If I was to pass Aguero for this week, I would be able to do one of –
Cahill -> Baines, no hit
Ulloa -> Sakho, Sterling -> Fab, -4 point hit
Sterling -> Tadic, Ulloa -> Welbeck, -4 point hit.
Thoughts?
Nosaj, I would look to defo upgrade Ulloa to Kun but maybe do it over 2 GWs to avoid the 8pt hit – can’t see Kun scoring 4 at West Ham next week.
Yeah I guess so. Really wanted Baines but I guess you can’t have them all…. Thanks Cookie
You can Nosaj, but not with that midfield.
That’s why I said you can’t have them all :p 😉 I would love Baines, that midfield and that forward line with Aguero in it, however, it is isn’t feasible
Team looks good. Agree with Cookie on the 8 point hit thing. Also, wait and see what happens during the CL games. Shit, we found out about the Costa injury late friday night.
Thanks Raziel
